A practical guide to matching your old EZ-Set spring measurements with the correct replacement spring and wind direction.

EZ-Set garage door springs are designed for EZ-Set torsion systems, not for standard torsion spring assemblies. To choose the correct replacement, match the old spring by wire diameter, inside diameter, coil length, spring color/name, and wind direction.

Installation Recommendations

Important: EZ-Set springs should only be used with compatible EZ-Set torsion systems. Do not mix EZ-Set springs with standard torsion springs.
  • Replace both springs at the same time if your garage door uses a pair. This helps keep the door balanced and supports longer service life.
  • Do not combine EZ-Set springs with standard torsion springs or non-compatible spring systems.
  • Inspect the cables, bearings, and drums for visible wear before reinstalling or tensioning the system.
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines and use proper safety equipment when tensioning springs.
Safety note: Garage door springs are under tension. If you are not familiar with EZ-Set spring replacement, professional installation is strongly recommended.
